I found this coffee table while checking the news in one of my favourites interior design website. So, I`ve searched for Julia Krantz`s website, but there`s not much information or pictures... Well, I`ll try to get in touch with her, but I just wanted to share this picture with you. Even if you don`t like the shape, take a look at this complicated construction... wicked, isn`t it?
And by the way, the wood has an eco friendly certification, muche better!
Based in Chicago, Ali Sandifer Studio is a furniture brand which uses domestic wood harvested from sustainable forests. I loved the designs, they have a retro feeling going on but still are very contemporary.

New from Gus*! The Carmichael Chair fuses traditional and contemporary sensibilities, bringing clean lines to a classic style. The Upcycle Ottoman is upholstered using a supply of surplus jute bags previously used to transport organic coffee beans. The jute features screen-printed stencils and logos which identified the original goods, making each ottoman completely unique. The School Chair is a modern reinterpretation of the well-known classic.
We know two different couples whom, in the interest of lifestyle, have placed pool tables in their formal dining rooms. Great idea for casual California living, but on the few occasions they actually need the dining space their guests are, of course, left with sticks instead of forks. Voila! The new multi-functional fusion table offers recreation or dining with the flip of a cover.....make that a streamlined contemporary veneered cover that comes in five finishes. The table originates from Belgium, designed and manufactured by Aramith-Armand Billiards, a group who's been in the business since 1923. This one definitely goes into the"why didn't I think of that" category!
I could write and write this very talented Brazilian designer: the versatile products, the beautiful shapes... but instead, I`d rather show some images and you can take your own conclusions! I`m a fan!
